	RE: Illum Wikkelso Rocker withhout a sticker	1 Relevance	7 years ago	mvc	Identification
	Hi, mostly the paper tags are lost, especially when the chair was repainted. Sometimes there isn't a paper tag but a stamp of the "Danish Quality Control" - see figure - and this stamp is very difficult to find if the chair was repainted. Just do compare the details of the chair with other original chairs on the net, and if all details are matching ... Attachment: Unbenannt-3.jpg

	... or to become architects, I am sure the profession would have a different character and would be evn more attractive for women now. I think that in general we are not paying enough attention to the decisions made in the past and their consequences. One case in point outside of the design professions (just to make sure that I do not offend anybody) When physicians, surgeons and pharmacists profesionalised in Britain, the surgeons and physicians out-manouvered the farmacists outside of the newly formed medical associations. the result is that the profession be ...

	We have to agree that the... We have to agree that the subject can not be discussed in absolute terms. The real and true influence of a single piece of design is very difficult to measure. Nevertheless, what is so striking about the chair are the little seeming contradictions of intent. One for example is the apparent conservative studded cushions and the modern flat bar cantilevered frame. Another is the way that the cushions appear not be supported by the frame at all. From a side view, it looks as if the cushions do not tough the frame enough to be ...

	... time, as Jan points out, to discribe less innovative changes to an existing product. But this negative interpretation of the word is only negative if you assume that bigger and more innovative steps are better than many small ones. The question, at least for industrial designers will always be : "how innovative can you be without losing contact with the consumer". If we set aside the problems of both polution and depletion of natural resources and look at the car simply as a product, it would be difficult to argue against the simple fact that this particul ...
	Vodder OS 64 Stool Seats	1 Relevance	7 years ago	mark737	Repair
	I know it's hard to tell from a picture, but how difficult do you think it would be to repair the seats on these Vodder stools? Do you think they could be put back together or would you have to build new seats? Attachment: Vod.jpg
	Measures for top try of Wegner AT48 wagon	1 Relevance	6 years ago	Andersen	Repair
	Hi there ! I was wondering if any good soul would be so kind in providing me with the measures for the top, removable tray for a Wegner AT48 table. I need to make one from scratch ! Do you have any advice that could help the decision making for attempting such a difficult task ? The piece I got is out of teak, and the top tray is missing. I think the right this is to get the tray of out teak, as it was originally. Not sure how a tray made of oak would look like. Thank you
	RE: Measures for top try of Wegner AT48 wagon	1 Relevance	6 years ago	Andersen	Repair
	yes I saw it, and immediately thought it was the most difficult part, together with the rounded shape of the edges. Many thanks for your help in the meantime, I hope someone will post the measures
	RE: Danish bowl	1 Relevance	6 years ago	bj	Identification
	Indeed grated is a rather peculiar description 🙂 I meant the surface of the raw clay seems scraped or 'grated', creating a rough look.Not like the signs of turning or building up on a piece of pottery I normally see. Tktoo2, you are right, it does resemble antique, vernacular pieces. For instance, I have someSpanish ceramic bowls from Granada, dating back 150 years, that show the same running or drippingdecoration. The bowl is difficult to place that way, but judging on the mark, I would say 1960-70's.But then again...

	cont'd All important modernist thinkers on architecture and design such as Greenough, Sullivan, Gropius, Taut, Mies, Le Corbusier, Teague - drove home the same message: that there are some sort of pre-ordained forms which are to be discovered in the character of the new epoch, in the nature of new functions, in new materials, new constructions or production processes. In other words, precedents were out of question: the idea was that design was definitely not about redesign. The whole modern design education as it emerged after the WWII was built on these id ...

	... that were the result of it have indeed succesfully survived a few decades (which is a lot more difficult in housewares than in furniture, but that is a sidestep)...and yet, I am seriously reconsidering this priority. The main reason is that I have observed a shift in the role of art. First of all let me start with the obvious: We have a need to surround us with objects that have an emotional content. In it's most obvious form it's family pictures. Images of loved ones, images of past situations we enjoyed. It can also be art in all it's forms, including mus ...

	about texture... I understand what depth is, and I agree. People in education like Michael, used to bring that particular perpective, Gerrit and other practicing designers used to shed a more professional light on things and ad to the diversity of opinions as well as to depth. Texture is probably something else. I find most contributions interesting, but there is a particular kind that leaves me frustrated in some way. I love the diversity of opinion, but I would like these opinions to be better documented and argued. Without the arguments, an opinion is dif ...
	RE: Eames PACC with no stamp - is it legit?	1 Relevance	6 years ago	mvc	Identification
	@SynBiscuit difficult to say, but mostly the embossed Herman Miller stamp is just at the place where the paper tag is, so the stamp could be covered by the paper tag. An advice in my role as cleverclogs: don't buy something "from the other side of the world" if you are not sure about its authenticity.

	... require a lot of wastage from a single piece of wood. So joints at roughly the quarter points allows for more efficient production, while avoiding cross grain weak points and mitigating warping. without having an existing top rail, I would find this shape very difficult to make accurately. My guess is you would pay a lot of money for the effort, and that effort would not fit properly.

	... as a context to be respected. The Bauhaus staff challenged themselves by developing a new esthetic language based on industrial production, aiming at accessibility to all. The Eamses explored new technologies, mass production and mass education. etc. etc. Never was "form" on it's own, the ultimate goal.
